lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go
every man unto his place.

trumpet in

trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the
trumpets also on
every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the LORD, and of
Gideon.

shout, ‘For the LORD and for
Gideon!’”

earring from his
plunder.” (For the enemies had gold earrings because they were
Ishmaelites.)

spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to them: David recovered all.

plunder the
Amalekites had taken. David brought
everything back.
Then answered all the wicked men and men of
Belial, of those that went with David, and said, Because they went not with us, we will not give them ought of the
spoil that we have recovered, save to
every man his wife and his children, that they may lead them away, and depart.

plunder we recovered, except for each man’s wife and children. They may take them and go.”

Asahel fell down and died stood still.
But
Asahel refused to turn away; so
Abner thrust the
butt of his
spear into his stomach, and it came out his back, and he fell dead on the spot. And
every man
paused when he came to the place where
Asahel had fallen and died.

grievance or dispute could come to me, and I would give him justice.”

Will not
Zadok and
Abiathar the priests be there with you? Report to them
everything you hear from the king’s palace.
Behold, they have there with them their two sons,
Ahimaaz Zadok’s son, and
Jonathan Abiathar’s son; and by them ye shall send unto me
every thing that ye can hear.
And they took
Absalom, and cast him into a great pit in the wood, and laid a very great
heap of stones upon him: and all Israel fled
every one to his tent.
They took
Absalom, cast him into a large pit in the forest, and piled a huge
mound of stones over him. Meanwhile, all the Israelites fled, each to his home.
Then the king arose, and sat in the gate. And they told unto all the people, saying, Behold, the king
doth sit in the gate. And all the people came before the king: for Israel had fled
every man to his tent.
So the king got up and sat in the gate, and all the people were told: “Behold, the king is sitting in the gate.” So they all came before the king. Meanwhile, the Israelites had fled, each man to his home.
And there happened to be there a man of
Belial, whose name was
Sheba, the son of Bichri, a
Benjamite: and he
blew a
trumpet, and said, We have no part in David, neither have we inheritance in the son of
Jesse:
every man to his tents, O Israel.
Now a worthless man named
Sheba son of Bichri, a
Benjamite, happened to be there, and he
blew the ram’s horn and
shouted: “We have no share in David, no inheritance in
Jesse’s son.
Every man to his tent, O Israel!”
So
every man of Israel went up from after David, and followed
Sheba the son of Bichri: but the men of Judah
clave unto their king, from Jordan even to Jerusalem.
So all the men of Israel deserted David to follow
Sheba son of Bichri. But the men of Judah stayed by their king all the way from the Jordan to Jerusalem.
And
Amasa wallowed in blood in the midst of the
highway. And when the man saw that all the people stood still, he removed
Amasa out of the
highway into the field, and cast a cloth upon him, when he saw that
every one that came by him stood still.
But
Amasa wallowed in his blood in the middle of the road, and when the man saw that all the troops were
stopping there, he
dragged the body off the road into a field and threw a garment over it.
Then the woman went unto all the people in her wisdom. And they cut off the head of
Sheba the son of Bichri, and cast it out to
Joab. And he
blew a
trumpet, and they retired from the city,
every man to his tent. And
Joab returned to Jerusalem unto the king.
Then the woman went to all the people with her wise counsel, and they cut off the head of
Sheba son of Bichri and threw it to
Joab. So he
blew the ram’s horn and his men
dispersed from the city, each to his own home. And
Joab returned to the king in Jerusalem.
